An uptight young smartarse editor travels out into the middle of nowhere determined that HE can be the one to rehabilitate a famously reclusive writer who hasn&#39;t written a book in 20 years.<br /><br />Harvey Keitel does a great job as the not-as-crazy-as-he-looks-oh-actually-maybe-he-is famous author, and he ends up playing mentor to Joshua Jackson&#39;s I&#39;m-an-editor-but-really-I-want-to-be-a-writer apprentice. Also there are hijinks involving stolen cows and karaoke.<br /><br />And some really nice advice on writing, too.TansyRRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09411830162058361645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698059.post-67232870412022190542010-05-20T05:36:22.759-04:002010-05-20T05:36:22.759-04:00The Prize Winner of Defiance, OhioThe Prize Winner of Defiance, OhioJoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15914730499199048197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698059.post-43304908715721738412010-05-20T00:21:12.300-04:002010-05-20T00:21:12.300-04:00What&#39;s your favorite movie that depicts the cr...<i>What&#39;s your favorite movie that depicts the creative process?</i><br /><br />I am quite fond of <i>The Horse&#39;s Mouth</i> (1958).

I don&#39;t know if either is about the creative <i>process</i>, but both are vivid depictions of the different creative personalities who make up the poster-artist community.<br /><br />NAKED LUNCH by David Cronenberg could never be a film of Burroughs&#39; book, so he decided to make a film in which he imagines how Burroughs might have come to write the book, turning his personal experiences into fictive material and thus wresting personal control over the sometimes traumatic events which, in his life, buffeted him about.<br /><br />If any more occur to me, I&#39;ll post them later.Robert Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06951286299515983901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698059.post-50453497405705172602010-05-17T16:06:57.834-04:002010-05-17T16:06:57.834-04:00Movies about movies: 8 1/2, Pierrot Le Fou, Contem...Movies about movies: 8 1/2, Pierrot Le Fou, Contempt, Beware of the Holy Whore, Grizzly Man, The Player, Adaptation, A Cock and Bull Story...inglydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698059.post-59678796370558852132010-05-17T14:09:41.285-04:002010-05-17T14:09:41.285-04:00No love for BARTON FINK?

In other ways, though, it&#39;s a really good movie, and it&#39;s interesting that (to me) it succeeds where biopics of actual writers/artists/musicians/whatever tend to fail.<br /><br />I&#39;m also partial to any good superhero origin story. To me, they really work as metaphors for how writers, musicians, and other artists grow--you know, discovering what they&#39;re capable of and also realizing the limits of their powers. And they involve kicking ass, which is good.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10085984397191473849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698059.post-3583341176948626592010-05-17T12:45:22.168-04:002010-05-17T12:45:22.168-04:00Synecdoche, New York.Synecdoche, New York.Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01345781894610597191noreply@blogger.com
